After studies in communication through image, Ghyslain Bertholon comes to the School of Fine Arts in Saint-Etienne in 1994. Four years later, he passes his DNSEP with distinction.
In 1999, he enters the "Atelier de Conception", which gathers about 15 artists, architects and designers working in public spaces thanks to proximity actions.
Till 2004, he multiplies artistic cooperation and creates or joins several artists' collectives. He achieves at the same time several public orders for perennial installations in public space. Since 2005, he writes his own "Poézie" (implementation of the artistic programme "Diachromes Synchromes et Poézies") and takes part into exhibitions and residencies in France and in foreign cities such as Berlin, Tallinn, Riga...
The same year, he founds the "Laboratoire d'Art Impliqué" (association for public awareness of contemporaneous art) and works for the Higher School of Art and Design of Saint-Etienne in collaboration with the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA) within the frame of the programme called Re:search.
The work of Ghyslain Bertholon is structured since 2005 around two distinct but complementary poles. The first one allows him to analyse the image and information fluxes (research programme giving birth to Diachromes and Synchromes) while the second one regroups, under the name of Poézies, all his thoughts and sensitive approach on what constitutes our social and cultural environment.
Ghyslain Bertholon is represented since 2005 by the Georges Verney-Carron gallery in Lyon, France, since 2008 by the SynopsisM gallery in Lausanne, Swiss, and since 2009 by the School gallery in Paris, France.

BIGBANG's G-Dragon was ranked the #1 youngest celebrity with the most successful job and "wealthiest amount" of famous personal connections.
On a recent episode of tvN's Name List Reveal 2016, the name of BIGBANG's one and only leader, G-Dragon, made it to the #1 spot on that day's list.
According to the theme of this episode's list, which was "Who is the celebrity with the greatest personal connections of all time?", G-Dragon won due to his unexpected list of famous friends and acquaintances which include stars like Suzy Bae, 2NE1's Sandara Park and CL, BLACKPINK's Jennie, and more.

Nowy Dwór – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie dolnośląskim, w powiecie trzebnickim, w gminie Trzebnica.

1 stycznia 2017 część miejscowości została włączona do Trzebnicy.

Podział administracyjny
W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość należała administracyjnie do województwa wrocławskiego.

Historia wsi
Wymieniany pośród dóbr w 1266 roku, klasztor w Trzebnicy. należał bowiem pierwotnie do uposażenia przekazanego przez księcia Henryka I w momencie fundacji klasztoru. Był to wówczas zapewne folwark, wymieniony dokumentarnie jeszcze w 1410 r. i w 1416 r. w związku z regulacją praw sądowych na terenie podległych klasztorowi dóbr. W 1466 r. znanym z nazwiska właścicielem był Bartusch Rorau. Nowy Dwór wzmiankowany kilkakrotnie w źródłach nowożytnych. Przez następne cztery stulecia losy majątku nie są bliżej znane. W 1876 r. figuruje w spisie dóbr jako należący do fiskusa reprezentującego domenę królewską i jest dzierżawiony przez Biebrachów, od 1886 r. do około 1909 r. dzierżawi go rodzina Merkelów. Od 1917 r. jako dzierżawca figuruje Erich Stumpel i są wówczas połączone z przysiółkami (odtąd też fiskus reprezentuje tu domenę państwową).

Nazwa
Pierwotna nazwa miejscowości wywodzi się od dwóch polskich słów "nowy" oraz "dwór" i nawiązuje do charakterystyki zabudowy. Śląski pisarz Konstanty Damrot w swojej pracy o śląskim nazewnictwie z 1896 roku wydanej w Bytomiu wymienia dwie nazwy: obecnie funkcjonującą, polską "Nowy Dwór" oraz niemiecką "Neuhof". Wymienił on również staropolską zlatynizowaną nazwę "Novidvor" pod jaką miejscowość została zanotowana w łacińskim dokumencie z roku 1266 oraz łacińską - "Nova curia" z roku 1293.

Pierwotną staropolską nazwę "Novy Dwór" Niemcy przetłumaczyli na "Neuer Hof", która w postaci Neuhof nazwa ta obowiązywała do 1945 roku. Miejscowość nosiła w historii następujące nazwy:

 Nova Curia - 1236 r. (?), 1293 r.
 Novidvor - 1266 lub 1267 r. (?)
 Nova curia - 1293 r.
 Newhoff - 1410 r.
 Newenhoff - 1466 r.
 Neuhof - lata: 1785-1945
 Nowy Dwór - od 1945 r.

Układ przestrzenny wsi
Brak określonego układu. Jest to zasadniczo grupa domów skupionych przy rozległym folwarku zabudowanym w czworobok z domem zarządcy zwróconym elewacją tylną ku zakolu szosy przelotowej Wrocław - Poznań, przecinającej wieś. Za folwarkiem ślady ogrodów użytkowych i parkowego zagospodarowania terenu (około 1 ha). Na terenie parkowym, o urozmaiconej rzeźbie terenu, pozostałość po stawie. W drzewostanie przeważają robinie białe i jesiony. Rosną też sosny wejmutki i ozdobne krzewy: głogi, bzy, śnieguliczki.
Przy wjeździe do wsi od strony Trzebnicy, po lewej stronie drogi, kępa wyraźnie kształtowanej zieleni z wkomponowanym weń krzyżem przydrożnym - 1921 rok. Zarówno teren folwarku jak i założenie zielone, dewastowane obecnie przez dziki wywóz śmieci, winny być objęte ochroną.

President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has been in power since 1999.
Algeria's President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has resigned after a month of popular protests opposing his rule, state media report.
The ailing leader, who has been in power since 1999, had already abandoned plans to seek a fifth term as opposition to his authority increased.
The Algerian army had called for Mr Bouteflika, 82, to be declared incapable of carrying out his duties.
The former president suffered a serious stroke in 2013 and has made very few public appearances.
His resignation was announced with a statement which was aired by state news agency APS.
The statement read: "The president of the republic, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, has officially notified the president of the constitutional council of his decision to end his mandate as president of the republic".
APS reported that the resignation would come into effect immediately.
Mass protests which began in Algiers gradually spread across the country throughout February, when Mr Bouteflika's announced his intention to stand for a fifth term.
Tens of thousands peacefully demonstrated and on Friday 1 March Mr Bouteflika vowed not to serve out a fifth term if re-elected.
However, with that promise along with a change of prime minister, protesters remained unsatisfied.
Prominent figures who have been leading the protests also rejected Mr Bouteflika's offer this week that he would leave by the end of his current term on Sunday 28 April.
It appears the powerful military agreed.

Q: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED I create a directx application with sharpdx and c#.
It works fine most of the time, but sometimes i get this random error:

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED

I googled some, but couldn't fine a reason other than it has to do with my onboard HD 4400 or the driver.
It happens when i want to create a buffer, then the exception occurs. I can see that while debugging.
any ideas what i may forget and need to care about? Seems so random. I do not physically remove the device ofc. Could it be something with higher load and the clock rate?

A: A DirectX application is expected to detect and handle 'device removed' in two basic places: It can happen when you go to Present:
HRESULT hr = m_swapChain->Present(1, 0);

// If the device was reset we must completely reinitialize the renderer.
if (hr == DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED || hr == DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET)
{
    OnDeviceLost();
}
else
{
    DX::ThrowIfFailed(hr);
}

And it can happen when you go to resize an existing swapchain:
// If the swap chain already exists, resize it, otherwise create one.
if (m_swapChain)
{
    HRESULT hr = m_swapChain->ResizeBuffers(backBufferCount,
        backBufferWidth, backBufferHeight, backBufferFormat, 0);

    if (hr == DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED || hr == DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET)
    {
        // If the device was removed for any reason, a new device
        // and swap chain will need to be created.
        OnDeviceLost();
    }
    else
    {
        DX::ThrowIfFailed(hr);
    }
}
...

If you encounter DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED in other cases, it is likely indicates an internal driver error and you should see if a newer driver is available.
Back in legacy DIrect3D 9, there was an idea of 'device lost' which was similar, but happened with a lot more frequency. With DXGI-based APIs (Direct3D9Ex, Direct3D 10, etc.) you only get device removed in specific cases. Typically it's because the system updated the video driver while your application was running. You can actually determine why it was removed by calling GetDeviceRemovedReason after you detect it.
    if (hr == DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED || hr == DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET)
    {
#ifdef _DEBUG
        char buff[64] = {};
        sprintf_s(buff, "Device Lost on ResizeBuffers: Reason code 0x%08X\n",
        (hr == DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED) ? m_d3dDevice->GetDeviceRemovedReason() : hr);
        OutputDebugStringA(buff);
#endif

        ...

The one other 'excepted' case I'm aware of is if you call ID3D12Device::SetStablePowerState while not in a "Developer Mode", it will trigger a device removed. They really don't want you to call that function in 'retail' games and apps.

Although she initially forbids Diana to be trained as a warrior, Hippolyta reluctantly agrees to let General Antiope, Hippolyta's sister and Diana's aunt, train her, only more rigorously than any other warrior. In 1918, Diana, now a young woman, rescues US pilot Captain Steve Trevor when his plane crashes off the Themysciran coast. The island is soon invaded by German soldiers that had been pursuing Trevor. The Amazons kill the crew, but Antiope sacrifices herself to save Diana. Steve is interrogated with the Lasso of Hestia and reveals that a great war is consuming the outside world and that he is an Allied spy. He has stolen a notebook of the chief chemist Dr. Isabel Maru, who is attempting to engineer a deadlier form of mustard gas under the orders of General Erich Ludendorff from a weapon facility in the Ottoman Empire. Believing Ares to be responsible for the war, Diana arms herself with the "Godkiller" sword, the lasso, and armor before leaving Themyscira with Steve to locate and stop Ares for good.
After Crisis on Infinite Earths, the character's origin was slightly retold by Greg Potter and George Perez. In this version, the Amazons were reincarnations of the souls of abused and murdered women from ancient days. In 1200 B.C. a debate occurred on Mount Olympus on how mankind should be made to relate to the gods. Ares, the god of war and destruction, wanted to descend upon the world with his army and crush mankind submission. This was opposed by the others gods present including Artemis, who wanted peace and suggested creating a new race that would lead humans on the right path. Zeus rejected their arguments, and they decided to proceed without his blessing. With the aid of Charon the ferryman, the gods reached the Womb of Gaea, where the souls of women who were abused and murdered at the hands of men were preserved by Gaea herself. Artemis then sent the souls to Greece where they reincarnated into adult women. Aphrodite observed that one soul still remains in the Womb, to which Athena replied that the time had not yet come for that one. The new race in Greece were approached by the goddesses, who bestowed upon them several blessings, charging them with the purpose of leading humanity in the ways of Gaea. They then appointed Hippolyte and Antiope as co-rulers. The civilization is named the Amazons. Stories of this civilization spread throughout Greece and reached the ears of Heracles, who was being manipulated by Ares into attacking the Amazons. Heracles approached the Amazons but was defeated by Hippolyte, upon which he pretended friendship and declared the Amazons allies. When their guard was down, the Greeks drugged the Amazons, taking Hippolyte, Antiope and the other survivors captive. In her cell, Hippolyte is freed by Athena ,who reminds her of her purpose and asked her to avoid revenge and pursue peaceful means. Hippolyte escaped and freed the rest of the Amazons. She shared Athena's message to the Amazons, but blinded by their thirst for revenge, they ruthlessly slaughter the remaining men. Antiope gave Hippolyta her girdle and left to pursue revenge The goddesses appeared and told them they had failed in their purpose and banished them to an island to guard the terrible evil within, as penance. They were granted immortality as long as they did not stray from their new purpose, which would eventually purify their souls. The Amazons built a nation and lived there for 4,000 years. It is during this time that Hippolyte, sole leader of the Amazons, felt an unexplained yearning. Menalippe, the Oracle, told her she was the only Amazon pregnant at the time of her previous incarnation's death, and thus the yearning she felt was the call of her unborn child. As per her advise, Hippolyte went to the shore at sunrise and made a clay figure of a baby. She then cried out to Artemis. The gods, recognizing it was time for the remaining soul in Gaea's womb to depart, infused it into the clay form, which then incarnated as a real child. Blessed with Gaea's greatest gift, life, the gods present bestowed their gifts upon the newborn: Demeter granted the baby great strength, Aphrodite granted her great beauty and a loving heart, Athena granted her great wisdom, Artemis granted her the eye of the hunter and unity with beasts, Hestia granted her sisterhood with fire, and Hermes gave her great speed and the power of flight. Hippolyte named her after a holy warrior, Diana, and she grew up knowing the love of a thousand mothers. Thus Diana of Themyscira was born.
Siracca tells Diana how she and her mother were killed by the hands of the jealous goddess Hera. Although she was torn to shreds by Hera's fury, Zeus took pity on her and turned her into wind. The very same wind that spills secrets to Lennox. Wonder Woman share her encounter with Hera and how she so desperately needs to find Zola's child, stolen due to Hermes. Siracca attempts to help Diana in finding Hermes and the baby. She suggests meeting Milan, once again, another child of Zeus for advice. Diana treks off to New York to find him.
After Sekowsky's run ended in the early 1970s, Diana's roots were reverted to her old mythological ones and she wore a more modernized version of her original outfit, a predecessor to her "bathing suit" outfit.[193] Later, in 1976, her glowing white belt was turned into a yellow one.[193] For Series 3, artist Terry Dodson redrew her outfit as a strapless swimsuit.[194]
In Wonder Woman Vol. 1 #204, Diana's powers and costume were returned to her and she is once again reinstated as Wonder Woman.[93] I-Ching is killed by a crazy sniper in the same issue.[95] Later, Diana meets her sister Nubia, who is Hippolyta's daughter fashioned out of dark clay (hence Nubia's dark complexion).[96][97] Nubia claimed to be the "Wonder Woman of The Floating Island", and she challenges Diana to a duel which ends in a draw.[97] Returning to her home, Nubia would have further adventures involving Diana.[96]
On May 31, Wonder Woman was banned in Lebanon after the Campaign to Boycott Supporters of Israel asked the Lebanese government's Ministry of Economy and Trade to block the film because its star, Gal Gadot, is Israeli.[163] The Lebanese government did not ban Gadot's Fast & Furious films which did screen in Lebanon.[164][165] On June 7, Variety reported that a Tunisian court suspended the theatrical release of Wonder Woman after a lawsuit brought by the Al-Chaab party and the Tunisian Association of Young Lawyers to have the film blocked due to Gadot's Israeli citizenship, military service, and public comments in support of the Israeli military during the 2014 war in Gaza.[166] Jordan was reportedly also considering a ban of the film and suspended screenings pending a decision,[167] but on June 11, it was reported that the government decided not to do so, as there was no legal precedent for it.[168]

Later in the story, Wonder Woman is locked in a cell. Straining to overhear a conversation in the next room, through the amplification of "bone conduction," she takes her chain in her teeth: "Closeup of WW's head shoulders. She holds her neck chain between her teeth. The chain runs taut between her teeth and the wall, where it is locked to a steel ring bolt."
Shortly thereafter, Wonder Woman is shown being able to summon it with her tiara, have it hover by the War Department, and extend from it a rope ladder with which she could board it. She uses the plane to fly into outer space, and frequently transports Etta Candy and the Holliday Girls, Steve Trevor, and others. During the 1950s, the plane becomes a jet, and is often shown swooping over Lt. Prince's office; she strips out of her uniform at super speed and bounds to the plane. Though the Plane was depicted as semi-transparent for the reader's convenience, in-story dialogue indicated that it actually was completely invisible, or at least able to become so as the need arose.[198]
While in London, Wonder Woman was summoned to help a young lady called Zola from the minions of the goddess Hera and after Diana defeated the enemies, she was informed by Hermes that Zola was pregnant with Zeus's child, which caused Hera's wrath.[16] Diana then took took Zola and the injured Hermes to the island of Themyscira, home of the Amazons, where Hera's wrath reached them in the form of her daughter Strife. Wonder Woman used the Lasso of Truth to stop Strife from hurting the Amazons, but it caused her to reveal the fact that Diana and her were sisters.[9] The next day, Diana learned from her mother that she was in fact Zeus' daughter and, hurt by her existence being a lie, she decided to renounce the name Diana, and swore never to return to the island again.[10]
Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman.
That hardly ended the controversy. In February 1943, Josette Frank, an expert on children's literature, a leader of the Child Study Association and a member of Gaines' advisory board, sent Gaines a letter, telling him that while she'd never been a fan of Wonder Woman, she felt she now had to speak out about its "sadistic bits showing women chained, tortured, etc." She had a point. In episode after episode, Wonder Woman is chained, bound, gagged, lassoed, tied, fettered and manacled. "Great girdle of Aphrodite!" she cries at one point. "Am I tired of being tied up!"
In the wake of the 1954 hearings, DC Comics removed Bender from its editorial advisory board, and the Comics Magazine Association of America adopted a new code. Under its terms, comic books could contain nothing cruel: "All scenes of horror, excessive bloodshed, gory or gruesome crimes, depravity, lust, sadism, masochism shall not be permitted." There could be nothing kinky: "Illicit sex relations are neither to be hinted at nor portrayed. Violent love scenes as well as sexual abnormalities are unacceptable." And there could be nothing unconventional: "The treatment of love-romance stories shall emphasize the value of the home and the sanctity of marriage."
Having learnt of Wonder Woman's inability to return to Themyscira, Doctor Veronica Cale, a wealthy and powerful woman, set into motion a plan to use Wonder Woman to find Themyscira. Years earlier, Cale's daughter Izzy had her soul stolen by the gods Phobos and Deimos. They told Veronica that they would only return her daughter to her if she helped them find Wonder Woman, and got the location of Themyscira from her. Seeing no other option, Cale had formed a team called Godwatch, dedicated to locating Diana and Themyscira.

Voiced by Keri Russell. A movie based on the storyline written by George Perez, Gods and Mortals. This movie shows Wonder Woman's origins and how she decided to operate outside of Themyscira. Long time ago, there was a war between Ares and Hippolyta, and Hippolyta had the advantage, and was about to kill Ares, but then Hera told her not to kill Ares, but the deed, done by Ares, would not go unnoticed. From there on the Amazons got their own Island, by a request from Hippolyta, where they kept Ares a prisoner. Years further, Hippolyta wished for a child, and she made a child out of clay praying for the gods to make it a child. The next morning she wakes up and sees that a little child is in front of her. She was named Diana.
(For the record, Marston and Olive Byrne's son, Byrne Marston, who is an 83-year-old retired obstetrician, thinks that when Marston talked about the importance of submission, he meant it only metaphorically. "I never saw anything like that in our house," he told me. "He didn't tie the ladies up to the bedpost. He'd never have gotten away with it.")
Though Diana was able to admit honestly that she did love Hades, she escaped her bonds anyway, explaining that she could still love him and refuse his proposal. Angrily, Hades sent all of the forces of Hell to kill her, but she and her friends were rescued by Strife. Confronted by her fiancé again, Diana explained that she had not lied. Wonder Woman has the capacity to love everyone - a concept that could never be understood by one incapable of love, such as he. The realization that he was loved unconditionally disgusted Hades so much that he sent them all away. Before leaving, Hephaestus gifted Hades with a mirror, and shot him with Eros' pistols, allowing, at least, for Hades to love himself.[23]
Nick Pumphrey stated that Wonder Woman stands as a non-violent beacon of hope and inspiration for women and men.[238][239] Grant Morrison stated "I sat down and I thought, 'I don't want to do this warrior woman thing.' I can understand why they're doing it, I get all that, but that's not what [Wonder Woman creator] William Marston wanted, that's not what he wanted at all! His original concept for Wonder Woman was an answer to comics that he thought were filled with images of blood-curdling masculinity, and you see the latest shots of Gal Gadot in the costume, and it's all sword and shield and her snarling at the camera. Marston's Diana was a doctor, a healer, a scientist."[240][241][242][243][244]
Cheetah sought revenge upon Veronica Cale for abandoning her, and attempted to murder her, but was stopped by Wonder Woman.[83] Cale refused to transform Cheetah back to her human form, and Cheetah herself decided that she no longer desired to be human. Having left her Lasso of Truth binding Phobos and Deimos, Diana was given it back by the Olympian Gods and reunited with Steve.[1]
^ Colluccio, Ali. "Top 5: Wonder Woman Reboots". iFanboy. Archived from the original on April 12, 2012. Retrieved April 10, 2012. After she was "erased" from existence in the final pages of Crisis on Infinite Earths, George Perez, Len Wein and Greg Potter brought the Amazon Princess back to the DC Universe. While the basics of the story remained the same, Wonder Woman;s powers were adjusted to include Beauty from Aphrodite, Strength from Demeter, Wisdom from Athena, Speed and Flight from Hermes, Eyes of the Hunter from Artemis, and Truth from Hestia. This run established Paradise Island as the mythical Amazon capital, Themyscira. Perez's Diana is not only strong and smart, but graceful and kind – the iconic Wonder Woman.
Never prone to stewing in solitude, and taking more notes from Richard Donner than from Christopher Nolan, Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman provides a welcome respite from DC's house style of grim darkness—boisterous, earnest, sometimes sloppy, yet consistently entertaining—with star Gal Gadot proving an inspired choice for this avatar of truth, justice, and the Amazonian way.[209]
Hidden behind this controversy is one reason for all those chains and ropes, which has to do with the history of the fight for women's rights. Because Marston kept his true relationship with Olive Byrne a secret, he kept his family's ties to Margaret Sanger a secret, too. Marston, Byrne and Holloway, and even Harry G. Peter, the artist who drew Wonder Woman, had all been powerfully influenced by the suffrage, feminism and birth control movements. And each of those movements had used chains as a centerpiece of its iconography.
Wonder Woman is a very focused and purposeful superhero movie. There isn't a single scene that feels like filler and you can tell Patty Jenkins knows exactly what kind of story she wants to tell. The film balances action and adventure with social commentary very well and is almost flawlessly executed. The setting in 1918 puts us in a time when women were on the verge of revolution, and the presence of Diana clashing with patriarchal ideals is not only historically logical, but elevates the film to a modern allegory. It's one of those movies that follows superhero tropes and Joseph Campbell's heroes journey, but keep things fresh so it never once feels derivative.
William Marston's earliest works were notorious for containing subversive "bondage and sapphic-undertones" subtext. Among Wonder Women's infamous catchphrases, "Suffering Sappho", was a direct reference to lesbianism. Fredric Wertham's Seduction of the Innocent referred to her as the "lesbian counterpart to Batman" (whom he also identified as a homosexual). After Marston's death in 1947, DC Comics downplayed her sexuality and feminist origin. Wonder Women, without Marston's creative direction, become more "traditional" superhero fair; the lesbian relationships and sexual imagery disappeared from the "Wonder Woman" comic, along with Wonder Woman's super powers. During the Comics Code Authority-decades since, Wonder Woman's subversiveness had been gradually stripped away; subsequent comic book writers and artists either didn't know know what do with her or barely hinted at Wonder Woman's erotic legacy.[8] Similar to whitewashing, Wonder Woman's queerness and feminist identity throughout the latter half of the 20th century was never discussed and rendered "invisible" in adaptations in favor of the dominant sexism portrayal of women in comic books.[25]

Steve Trevor's secretary who befriends Diana.[44] Describing her character, Davis said, "She's a woman in a man's world and so being heard and seen aren't the easiest things, but it kind of doesn't deter her", adding, "Etta is unapologetically herself and I think that that's the thing that has drawn me to her the most".[45] When asked if she was previously familiar with the character, Davis responded, "No. I wasn't.

It took a little while then I Googled the character".[46] On Etta Candy's relationship with Steve Trevor, Davis said, "One of the great things that Etta gets to work with Steve Trevor is because Steve is not your typical man, in that he does entrust her with things that in 1918 probably wouldn't have been entrusted to a secretary of somebody who is quite important", further explaining, "So I think that [Trevor] needs her just as much as she needs that because now she's been given responsibility that she wouldn't have normally be given before, and equally he has somebody who could probably fly under the radar a bit. So he can trust the person who no one's really looking at".[47]
Wonder Woman is an Amazon warrior princess and one of the most powerful superheroes in the DC Universe. The daughter of Hippolyta, she was given power by the Gods to fight against evil in all its forms. Although she was raised entirely by women on the island of Themyscira, she was sent as an ambassador to the Man's World, spreading their idealistic message of strength and love. Wonder Woman fights crime and acts as a positive role model for women everywhere. Her equipment includes the Lasso of Truth, magic gauntlets, and an invisible jet. In the secret identity she has adopted to become closer to humanity, she is Diana Prince, a government agent for the Department of Metahuman Affairs. Wonder Woman is also a founding member of the Justice League of America. She has also been a member of the Star Sapphire Corps, the Sinestro Corps, and the Justice League Dark.
A few weeks later in September, Cameron reiterated his criticism in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He compared Gal Gadot's representation of the character to Raquel Welch films of the 1960s,[261] and reinforced a comparison with Linda Hamilton's portrayal of Sarah Connor. He argued that Connor was "if not ahead of its time, at least a breakthrough in its time" because though she "looked great", she "wasn't treated as a sex object".[261] He also stated that he while he "applaud[s] Patty directing the film and Hollywood, uh, 'letting' a woman direct a major action franchise, I didn't think there was anything groundbreaking in Wonder Woman. I thought it was a good film. Period."[261] Former Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter responded to Cameron's The Hollywood Reporter interview by asking him to "Stop dissing WW." Like Jenkins, she suggests that while Cameron does "not understand the character", she does. She also refers to Cameron's critiques as "thuggish jabs at a brilliant director" that are as "ill advised" as the "movie was spot on." Carter also states that she has the authority to make these observations because she has "embodied this character for more than 40 years".[262][263][264] A month later, Jenkins responded to Cameron's comments once again in an interview with Variety, stating that she "was not upset at all", as "everybody is entitled to their own opinion. But if you're going to debate something in a public way, I have to reply that I think it's incorrect."[265] Tricia Ennis was also critical of Cameron's statements, arguing that "while he may consider himself a feminist and an ally to women, [he] is not very good at it" as being an ally means using his position of privilege "without silencing the voices of those you're trying to help". She also states that it "is not enough to simply call yourself a feminist. It's not even enough to create a strong female character ... You have to bring women to the table. You have to let them speak. You cannot speak for them. But speaking for women is exactly what Cameron is doing through his comments ... Cameron is using his position of power as a respected producer and director to silence women."[266]
"Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women' s strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman."

In 1944, Gaines and Marston signed an agreement for Wonder Woman to become a newspaper strip, syndicated by King Features. Busy with the newspaper strip, Marston hired an 18-year-old student, Joye Hummel, to help him write comic-book scripts. Joye Hummel, now Joye Kelly, turned 90 this April; in June, she donated her collection of never-before-seen scripts and comic books to the Smithsonian Libraries. Hiring her helped with Marston's editorial problem, too. Her stories were more innocent than his. She'd type them and bring them to Sheldon Mayer, Marston's editor at DC, she told me, and "He always OK'd mine faster because I didn't make mine as sexy." To celebrate syndication, Gaines had his artists draw a panel in which Superman and Batman, rising out of the front page of a daily newspaper, call out to Wonder Woman, who's leaping onto the page, "Welcome, Wonder Woman!"
The season two premiere episode follows directly after the apocalyptic events of last season's finale. With Rachel's father, Trigon (guest star SEAMUS DEVER) having successfully turned Dick dark, he sets out to win the others over to his side by embracing their inner darkness. With everyone under Trigon's control, Rachel and Gar find themselves fighting what seems like a hopeless battle against the powers of Trigon.

The sweet potato is a distant relative of the potato. And of the two, the sweet one is actually very good for you (not to mention tastier). In some states of America a popular thanksgiving dish is sweet potato and marshmallow casserole, but we decided to stick with chips!


Maps have been generated in an effort to visualize water quality and other similar data in spatial format using open source Google maps and scribble maps. To generate these maps, data from various sources have been linked to district-level freely available polygon layer of India. Our foremost aim is to present the enormous amount of data in easy-to-grasp GIS map form.
Arsenic Knowledge and Action Network is a dynamic network of partner organizations and individual members, sharing a common vision of bringing systematic and structural changes in arsenic mitigation strategies across India and be able to increase awareness of the arsenic issue amongst the affected populations.
The original data refers to the list of drinking water quality affected habitations all over India due to contamination such as Fluoride, Arsenic, Iron, Salinity and Nitrate. For visualization purpose we have compiled the number of affected habitations at district-level for each contaminant. The numbers show status on April 1st for the respective year.
The Map displays the districts with presence of high arsenic in groundwater.
Occurrence of high arsenic content in ground water committee on estimates (2014-15); First report, ministry of water resources, river development and Ganga rejuvenation.
As part of the larger 'Arsenic Knowledge and Action Network' project, a short period (January- August, 2015) research study was initiated with the objective to develop a comprehensive status report on the state of the water sector in Assam. The specific objective was to consolidate the significant amount of information available on water and sanitation in Assam, along with an understanding of the geo-physical, socio-economic and socio-political characteristics of the state. The relevant data has been collected and linked in GIS to create district-wise spatial maps for the state of Assam.
The laboratory jurisdiction map is an effort to simplify and visualize the available water testing laboratory related data and information. For instance, the spatial map of Bankura district, West Bengal shows the current jurisdiction of the respective randomly plotted laboratories at block level. This will be helpful for users to pick the laboratory for sample testing based on their own location.

Associated Press photojournalist Jerome Delay has spent recent months in Mali, documenting in powerful images the struggles in the landlocked country in West Africa.
In January 2012 a Tuareg rebellion began in Northern Mali, led by the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad. In March, military officer Amadou Sanogo seized power in a coup d'état, citing failures in quelling the rebellion, and leading to sanctions and an embargo by the Economic Community of West African States.
The MNLA quickly took control of the north, declaring independence as Azawad. However, Islamist groups including Al-Qaeda, who had helped the MNLA defeat the government, turned on the Tuareg and took control of the North with the goal of implementing Sharia Law in Mali.
On 11 January 2013, the French Armed Forces intervened at the request of Sanogo's government. The coordinated advance of the French and Malian troops claimed to have retaken the last remaining Islamist stronghold of Kidal, which was also the last of three northern provincial capitals. from The Denver Post
Footprints from worshippers are left in the sand at the ancient Askia mausoleum's mosque, built in 1495 in Gao, northern Mali, Saturday Feb. 9, 2013. On Friday, a suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed himself attempting to blow up an army checkpoint, the first time a suicide bomber operated in Mali. (AP Photo/Jerome Delay)
Issa Alzouma, 39, poses in front of his home in Gao, northern Mali. Alzouma's arm was amputated by Islamist radicals on Dec. 21, 2012, after an Islamic tribunal charged him with spying. Alzouma, a father of three, denied the charges, and said he was just changing the faulty plug on his motorcycle's engine alongside the road. The extremists fled the city Saturday as French, Chadian and Nigerian troops arrived, ending 10 months of radical Islamic control over the city. But the intervention came too late for Alzouma and the other men who lost their hands and probably their livelihoods, too, when the militants carried out amputations as punishments for theft and other alleged crimes under their strict interpretation of Shariah, or Islamic law.

Travelers driving from Niamey, Niger, line up to be searched at the entrance of Gao, northern Mali, Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013. Soldiers from Niger and Mali patrolled downtown Gao on foot Tuesday, combing the sand footpaths through empty market stalls to prevent radical Islamic fighters from returning to this embattled city in northern Mali.
